Report back of the Roskill Community Voice team on the Puketapapa Local Board

At the 2013 local elections we committed to being a strong community voice for Mt Roskill/Puketapapa if elected to the Local Board. We were honoured to receive your trust and win a majority.

Since then we have focussed on winning a fair deal for our community. We have worked constructively to get results, and spoken up for Roskill where necessary.

We are an effective local team driven by our love for Roskill and a belief that our community needs to be heard.

This report-back is a way of being accountable back to you as local residents. We welcome your feedback.

Your Roskill Community Voice team of Harry Doig, Julie Fairey, David Holm, and Michael Wood have wide-ranging skills, experience, and a fierce commitment to being a strong voice for Puketapapa/Mt Roskill.

Cathy Casey your Councillor for Albert-Eden-Roskill

Cathy speaks up fearlesslyfor local residents

Dr Cathy Casey is considered to be one of the hardest working, most principled, and accessible Council members.

Experienced and committed, Cathy has been one of Council’s leading advocates for more transparency and accountability.

Shespeaks up fearlesslywhen Council isn’t listening to residents, and was a vocal critic of the recent unfair rates rises that affected Albert-Eden. As Chair of the Community Development and Safety Committee, Cathy has been leading debate on many pressing social issues such as homelessness, appropriate housing for the elderly, and the impact of pokies and alcohol on our community.

Cathy stands up for many important local issues. She has been a strong voice at the Council table to support local projects such as the Mt Albert town centre upgrade, and in support of local resident’s concerns around Unitec’s and Eden Park’s development plans. She’s a great dog advocate and is often to be found early in the morning enjoying our local parks.
